This classic work of science fiction is widely considered to be the ultimate time-travel novel. When Daniel Eakins inherits a time machine, he soon realizes that he has enormous power to shape the course of history. He can foil terrorists, prevent assassinations, or just make some fast money at the racetrack. And if he doesn't like the results of the change, he can simply go back in time and talk himself out of making it! But Dan soon finds that there are limits to his powers and forces beyond his control. This replaces 0553290061.

He is not a representative ma...
This book is about a time traveler that has traveled where no other time traveler has traveled before.If and If I read the book correctly. Dan/Danny/Uncle Jim/ Diane/Donna/Aunt Jane are all the same person but traveling in different time lines depending on the decisions they take resulting in differ...
